| truly average - i may be i bit biased, as i'm not a huge fan of giant robot stuff, but this seemed truly bland - i did like the character design and also some of the humor was nice - may give this one more chance..... |

Edefrem said: i agree - pacing and plot seemed very shaky - this show seems to have some potential, but it definitely needs improvement - maybe next episode?Intresting start, Madoka seems likable and full of energy~ But the plot was jumbled -.-? |

  |
| This is SO not my thing (I don't like mecca in general. Just forcing myself to watch Gundam unicorn because of my favorite director). Looking at the quality, it seems rather average (though who knows, maybe it will turn out good, but I won't be watching when/if it happens). |

| -Robot- that was kind of lame -.- This episode was at most average, as a fan of Mecha, this 1st episode wasn't that good as most of people here say that it was somehow very good. I guess am gonna check the 2nd episode first, before dropping this series. jtiskool305 said: No main male means no watching from me (unless it's hentai). And same goes for no female leads (no hentai though). I have a hard time watching shows recommended like Madoka, Lucky Star, and K-on just because they have shoujo-ai feel to them. Yeah, I'm somehow like you. |
 |
| Okay, I've never really watched that much of mecha and I'm not really a fan of mecha, but this one I really liked. The OST plus OP an ED were nice (Megumi Nakajima <3), animation was good and CG was also good. Guess I'll have to watch this. :> Madoka was also a good character, and her design was pretty good too. |
>tfw Youtube can't let me have nice things  |

| Well, It was definitely worth the watch. And, it got me to actually give it some thought, so here it is I guess. Generally, if the cast is an al girl cast, I instantaneously get the ''K-On!'' feeling and expect it to be that way through the rest of the season. Not that it's a bad thing, except It's going to be a one way looking glass in terms of how I'm going to see and feel during the anime. I just hope that the output I'll get with this anime isn't going to be just one type of flavor. In terms of animation, it 'looked' good. But, it seemed more flashy than anything else. Either way, I'm hoping for something new and innovative out of this one. Looking forward to the next! |

Man, where are the good old days of REAL mecha anime like Code Geass or FMP! Oh good lord, you CAN'T be serious... (and I adore Code Geass) Anyway, good first episode. I like the MC, I like Lan, and I really like the design of the other girl at least -- can't wait for her to appear. Very good OP, good ED. Reminds me a bit of E7 for some reason. I see a lot of potential in this one. |
| lol, real mecha anime? Wheres Mazinger? Getter Robo? Commbattler, Voltes, Dancougar? :Y THAT are real hot blooded and badass robo anime. |
| as a fan of mecha and a couple of girls being the main characters in the show, this will definitely be in my to watch list.. characters are stereotypical so i wouldn't be expecting much in that department unless they pull off some sort of character development (i doubt it, the can-do-it-all genki girl MC may actually benefit without it).. i'm not expecting anything in the plot, hopefully it can at least be entertaining, like how the first ep made me kinda enjoy it, so if i would be surprised later, that would be better.. i have a problem on the pacing of the direction in this ep, though.. there are certain dead air moments and yet they made all the necessary stuff happen so fast.. but in any case, Madoka is hawt and i like her style on things.. she's definitely the reason i'd be watching this.. |
| This is good. It's rare to see an energetic girl piloting a mech as a main lead. Plus, she's pretty cute. |

A-Knight said: A badass manly male lead is better for this kind of thing, but Madoka is at least a nice piece of ass to look at. Decent first episode overall. Really? REALLY? Anyway, I loved this episode. The fight was cool and I love how upbeat the main character is. The opening and ending songs are catchy. I think this is a definite watch for this season for me. |
A-Knight said: A badass manly male lead is better for this kind of thing, but Madoka is at least a nice piece of ass to look at. Decent first episode overall. Not really, teenagers are well suited for mecha, look at Gundam and Overman King Gainer (which this anime seems to be more like). I think it's nice that pretty, realistic, but very likable and more down to earth females are the pilots of the mecha in this. |
 |
| I think I'll be waiting four more days so that I will not gain eyecancer from this pre-air quality. Good thing many people are positive though. =) |
 |
| I'm not sure if I'm going to like this one. First off, I don't think I'm going to like the main character, Modaka. She seems way too unlikely to pilot a mech, but I guess that's the main point. Also, the animation quality was pretty mediocre. Finally, finishing the robot with a suplex.....really? Mediocre beginning. I just hope they throw wtf moments here and there to make the series good. |
 |
| This shall be the deconstruction of the moe genre. |
| tfw no gf tfw i keep getting the banhammer on here tfw Koleare keeps banning me every other day tfw I'm misunderstood by le mod |
| Too early to say out a male is suppose to be better. I'm getting tired watching male guys as a lead, so a female one is a bit refreshing to see. I'll be sticking around a bit more to see how this turns out. On another note, I find it funny to see her big sis come just to check her lil sister's ass. |

| First episode had me laughing every other minute. Love the way they threw the comedy in there. Also kind of reminds me of a cross between Tony Taka's art form, Neon Genesis and To Aru Majitsu no Index. |
 |
| I liked the first episode. Love the OP and ED already the best of the season already. |
 |
| Wow I really liked this a lot <33 And rofl.. "Excuse meeeee. I'm in really deep shiiiit..." |
 |
| Don't know exactly what to think of it yet, I don't like mecha but I was really surprised by the great soundtrack and the great main character that I already like |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| That was interesting. I actually liked it. Now if Lan and Madoka start making out in the showers, it's a winner. LMAO, at robots doing a German Suplex. I love the look on everyone's faces. It's like they're saying "Dear god no, there's a redneck WWE fan piloting that thing!!" I also like the side story of the sister's desire to not have Madoka piloting that thing. Obviously there's a good story their centering around their aunt and the robots. I'd like to learn more about it. |
| More anime's should have this level of quality and detail. Love it! |
| re watched in better quality(still gonna watch)nothing has change~. |
 |
| This show was much better than I expected, it avoided pretty much all the drama and other tropes I don't like much in these space mecha battle shows and instead was pretty nice and fun to watch. It even used my least favorite, the whole willpower-making-your-robot-stronger thing, in a completely non-obnoxious way. The soundtrack is pretty good, too. Hope this keeps up. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| Nice one powerpuff+mecha. A cheerful slight clutz moe cute sweater jacket addict heroine that can kick ass why not!? |

| Aside from idiotic ability to control robot almost flawlessly for the first time, I liked the first episode overall. It will probably get even better once all the girls meet up. |
 |
newnar said: Issit just me or is episode 1 exactly the same as the pre-air? That's why it's called a pre-air. |
| It seems like this series has it's share of fanservice. Just check out the preview. There was one chick with enormous beewbs. Oh and the first episode was okay, I have never been a huge fan of mecha, but what the heck let's give this show a chance. But if the main focus changes to Fanservice, I'm out. 3/5 for this episode. |
| When i saw the quality of the pre-air i deleted it, its not worth watching like that ._. Regarding the episode, gonna stick with this anime, i find it the 2nd best of the season to the moment; nice art style, liked the characters, animation was good, the little bits of slight ecchi were great, and Nakajima Megumi songs are a BIG plus. 5/5 for me |
 |
| Pretty disappointed at how boring it turned out to be. But I liked the art and Madoka so I'll keep watching |
| Really liked this... amazing animation and the MC is very likeable imo :D Definitely one of my most anticipated for this season :D 5/5 MECHA YEEHAW!! |
| I usually dislike mecha (very very very few exceptions) but I love the main character so much that I'm in this for both seasons. I give this episode a MARU |
| Maru indeed. I'm not too fond of meha, yet this seems to be one of few exceptions where i'll like it. A good 1st ep with satisfying amout of humour and interesting plot introduction. I like Madoka's ass and Ran already, there's also Noto Mamiko as Madoka's sister which is <3. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| lol mecha wrestling |

ryanagamis said: german suplex, just lol. what next, flying knee drop? 6.1.9.? good episode btw. Obviously, we need a shining wizard or the anime just won't be complete. |
